What are dreams?
Aren't they just meant to give us visions when we rest?
Peaceful ones that help us get in that deep slumber
But these dreams are different in a way
It is a little weird to think about it and the effects it has on the brain
Is this really a dream or am I awake?
Sensations that flood my body that make my mind think I am awake
I can feel the grass that is displayed in my mind
Smell the summer aroma of freshly bloomed flowers
I can taste the pine that is carried in the breeze that glides through my nose and trickles down my throat
These sensations that flood my brain
The ones that make me feel as if I was standing in such a majestic place
It all feels so real
I can touch the leaves that are on the trees
Hear the buzz of the humble bumble bee
See the woodland creatures that have come to comfort me
But I open my eyes only to see that I am back in reality
Feeling dreadfully tired after experiencing such extraordinary things
This has put the biggest strain on me
I feel as if I didn't sleep a wink
What was this phenomenon that has overtaken my dreams?
Muscles that are tense it is impossible to move
Eyes groggy that make face look hazy
Why are there bags that now litter my face
Gently kissing my face with a new look to admire more
Until I realize that sleep never invaded me
I was still awake while seeing all these beautiful things
What a wonderful phase the mind can put you through
Now insomnia has taken over my sleep
It is like I am in Nightmare on Elm Street
Trying to stay awake to avoid being brought down in my own brain
As if Fredy Kruger was manifesting his way into the day
That's not what it is at all
Apparently, these are lucid dreams
Dreams that occur when you are partially awake
Even though now these beautiful fantasies has made reality hell to be in
Peaceful thoughts flood my mind, and it causes me to close my eyes
Then the nightmares occur that stir and stir until they conquer
Lucid dreams can be blessing
Or can make a person a menace to society
